Apex Legends Won’t Launch

Since the start of the new season (Season 25), I have been unable to launch Apex Legends. It was working fine up until the previous season (Season 24).

When I try to launch the game, my PC freezes at the “Initializing…” screen during startup. There is no blue screen error, but the system becomes completely unresponsive, and I have to manually restart the PC using the power button.

There are no issues with my PC’s specs or storage space. Other games run perfectly fine—this issue only occurs with Apex Legends.

I have tried launching the game through both the EA App and Steam, but the same problem happens in both cases.
